This news ticker is updated regularly.
Update from January 16, 12:22 p.m.:
The corona situation in Bavaria seems to be relaxing a little.
On Saturday, 22 districts and cities were still above the
limit of 200
, a decrease compared to the previous days.
On Friday, 25 districts and cities had passed the 200 mark.
According to the
Robert Koch Institute,
the
current front runner in Bavaria is
the city of Bayreuth with an incidence of 315.6.
However, there is feedback and complaints from municipalities across Germany that data transmission via the new Demis electronic reporting system is not working properly and that the data is therefore not reliable.
In Bavaria, these have included the
city of Nuremberg and the district of Munich
in recent days

Corona in Bavaria: Health Minister Holetschek orders syringes for the vaccination against the virus
Update from January 16, 9.42 a.m.:
Bavaria's Minister of Health Klaus Holetschek has ordered a further 2.1 million syringes for
vaccinations against the
corona virus
.
A message from the Bavarian Ministry of Health on Saturday shows that this also
ensures
the use of additional
vaccination doses
.
The Free State bought enough syringes and needles before the latest order to vaccinate the entire Bavarian population twice, it is said.
According to the ministry, the additional 2.1 million syringes, each with a capacity of one milliliter, will be used to vaccinate even more people.
"An order process" is also currently in progress for a further 1.5 million syringes.
Some of the citizens who were vaccinated on December 27th will
receive
the second required
vaccination
in the coming days
.
According to the current state of research, immunization against
Covid-19 should be
achieved
one week later
.
The recommendation of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the vaccine developed by Biontech / Pfizer was decisive for the latest order for syringes.
After reports on Friday about delivery problems with Pfizer's corona vaccine, the planned second vaccinations for people in Bavaria are not at risk from the Ministry of Health.
On Friday, however, it was unclear how the first vaccinations would continue.
Corona in Bavaria: Greens attack Söder's vaccination plan mercilessly
Update from January 16, 7:11 a.m.:
Criticism of Markus Söder: The Bavarian Greens accuse the Prime Minister of
neglecting the Corona vaccination campaign
in the Free State.
In the summer "there would have been enough time to properly prepare the vaccination start," said Green parliamentary group leader
Ludwig Hartmann of
the "Augsburger Allgemeine" (Saturday).
And now the CSU boss has done a “disservice” to the willingness to vaccinate by calling for mandatory vaccination for the nursing staff.
A motivating
information campaign
would be necessary
.
"Söder does the exact opposite when he publicly
rants
about
compulsory vaccination for nurses
," criticized Hartmann.
"We're just starting to vaccinate the people in the homes and those over 80."
General practitioners should be involved in order to relieve people of
fear
.
"These are the people you trust who are important here," said the Green politician.
"When vaccinating, it is not enough for me that Markus Söder says he will get himself vaccinated." Hartmann also criticized the
15-kilometer rule in Corona hotspots
.
This is incomprehensible, because the aim is to avoid contact, not to restrict movement.
The unreasonable demands must be understandable and balanced, otherwise the overall acceptance of the corona measures would suffer.
Instead of sharpening up in the private sector, the world of work should be looked at more closely: most contacts take place on the way to work and at work, "there is more to be done there," said Hartmann.
Corona in Bavaria: FFP2 mask requirement is still under criticism
Update from January 15, 9:22 p.m.:
The
FFP2 mask requirement in Bavaria *
, which will apply
from
Monday (January 18),
is still under criticism.
Finally a professor from Rostock got in touch.
The medical professor Andreas Podbielski had sharply rejected the FFP2 obligation. * "That sounds like actionism to me," said the director of the Institute for Medical Microbiology, Virology and Hygiene at the University of Rostock on Friday.
In
his opinion,
FFP2 masks
only
belong
in the medical professions
.
These masks are stressful and bring “loads of risks” with them.
It is not for nothing that the Occupational Safety and Health Act stipulates that you should take a break after wearing it for two hours, he emphasized.
After clear criticism of the FFP2 mask requirement - Holetschek defends himself
The criticism of Bavaria's approach is factually incomprehensible, says
Health Minister Klaus Holetschek (CSU).
According to the ministry, the discussed disadvantages of the
FFP2 masks are
not that relevant.
"The
wearing times
are
comparatively short
during shopping in retail stores, a trip in
public transport
and when picking up goods
," it said.
The limitation of wearing time known from the world of work and the increased breathing resistance due to the mask therefore only played a
subordinate role.
Mayor Dieter Reiter attests the Free State of “chaos” in the distribution of vaccines
Update from January 15th, 4:05 pm
: Munich's Lord Mayor
Dieter Reiter
has criticized “chaotic conditions” in the delivery of vaccines.
Contrary to the state's announcement that it would
regularly supply
the local
vaccination centers
with corona vaccine every Tuesday and Friday, the city did not receive the 3500 vaccine doses promised for Friday, the town hall said.
With the vaccine still available, it could just be ensured that the necessary second vaccination of the first vaccinated residents could take place over the weekend.
"We can only vaccinate what
vaccine
is made available to
us
," explained Reiter.
"This chaotic situation, where vaccination doses are announced but not delivered, must be stopped immediately."
Corona hammer in Bavaria: SPD wants to tip Radius rule - sharp new cuts are likely to come
Update from January 15, 12:17 p.m
.: The SPD parliamentary group is
taking action
against the
15-kilometer rule in hotspots
.
Three members of the state parliament, including the
parliamentary group leader Horst Arnold
, are suing the measure.
Arnold and the two MPs Inge Aures and Christian Flisek announced on Friday in Munich
that the regulation would be
checked
with a so-called
norm control application at the Bavarian Administrative
Court.
Since Monday, excursions within a radius of no more than 15 kilometers have been allowed if the
seven-day incidence there is
over 200.
Some affected districts have also issued a ban on excursions, meaning that visitors are no longer allowed to come to the region for tourist purposes.
The reason given for the measures is to contain the coronavirus.
The regulation is highly controversial.
Several applications against the 15-kilometer rule are already pending at the Bavarian Administrative Court.
Corona in Bavaria: Landtag SPD takes action against the 15-kilometer rule - "Rule of law concerns"
The
Landtag SPD has
now reported “massive concerns about the rule of law”.
“The life and health of citizens must be protected by the state.
At the same time, every measure must be measured against the rules of the rule of law, especially if it constitutes a significant
encroachment on fundamental rights
such as the restriction of freedom of movement, ”explained Arnold.
No anti-corona measure is an end in itself.
"It must be suitable for containing the pandemic, and it must be the mildest means compared to other options," emphasized Arnold.
The representative of the MPs, the Regensburg professor Thorsten Kingreen, said about the regulation: “It does not prevent any
contacts
, but only aims at how far or where you drive.
But that is irrelevant for the infection process. "
Corona hammer in Bavaria: SPD wants to tip Radius rule - sharp new cuts are likely to come
Update from January 15, 11.43 a.m
.: In hotspots with an incidence of over 200, a stricter
rule
has recently been in effect
.
Residents of these cities or districts are not allowed to go on excursions more than 15 kilometers away from their place of residence.
“We don't need new rules every day without yesterday's work,” said the mayor of the Swabian town of Nördlingen, David Wittner, on Friday in the
Augsburger Allgemeine.
The
SPD long-day parliamentary group
is now taking action against this very rule.
According to information from the
Passauer Neue Presse
, the parliamentary group submitted a regulatory review application against the 15-kilometer rule to the
Bavarian Administrative
Court.
More on this shortly.
Compulsory for nurses?
Lucha rejects Söder-Vorschlag
Update from January 15, 11:20 a.m
.: A few days ago, Markus Söder started a debate about the
mandatory vaccination for nurses
.
He had asked the Ethics Council to deal with it.
Now the Baden-Württemberg
Minister of Health Manfred Lucha has
fought off the Bavarian Prime Minister's initiative.
"I would
recommend
Mr. Söder just a two-week retreat in a Bavarian
silent
monastery," said the Green politician in an interview with the "Badische Zeitung" (Friday).
The debate about compulsory vaccination is at the moment a debate of
uncertainty
, said Lucha.
“We have received feedback that around 60 percent of the nursing staff in our country want to be vaccinated, in contrast to other countries where it is only 30 percent.
That is not enough, but it is a basis. "
Corona: Bitter new cuts are also coming to Bavaria - details leaked - Söder with demand
First report from January 15, 9.45 a.m .:
Munich - Germany has been in a tough lockdown for weeks. * But the Corona * numbers are still high.
According to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI *), 25 cities and counties
in
Bavaria
alone
are above the important limit of 200 per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days.
The highest seven-day incidence * reached the city of
Bayreuth
on Friday
with 323.6.
This is followed by the districts of Rottal-Inn (310.3), Kulmbach (286.4) and Regen (270.0).
Corona in Bavaria: seven-day incidence over 200-15 KM rule applies
The cities of Passau, Coburg, Rosenheim, Hof, Nuremberg, Schwabach and Fürth also had
a value over 200
according to
RKI information
.
The districts of Wunsiedel in the Fichtelgebirge, Bayreuth, Lichtenfels, Passau, Roth, Berchtesgadener Land, Kronach, Deggendorf, Tirschenreuth, Coburg, Unterallgäu, Ebersberg, Miesbach and Donau-Ries are also located above the mark.
If the incidence is above 200, stricter measures against the coronavirus will take effect. * Excursions are then only possible within a radius of 15 kilometers *.

Corona in Bavaria: fear of virus mutations - is there an even harder lockdown?
The Free State and all of Germany may face an even harder lockdown.
The reason is probably the fear of the corona mutations spreading. * "We need more test sites that can detect the mutation," said Bavaria's Prime Minister
Markus Söder
(CSU) to the newspapers of the
Funke media group.
According to information from
Business Insider
, the federal and state governments should, at the request of Chancellor Angela Merkel *,
bring
forward
their advice on
extending the lockdown
by one week.
Originally January 25th was planned.
The summit will probably take place on Tuesday.
According to the report, a new
contact rule is
under discussion.
According to this, only meetings with a permanent person outside of one's own household should be allowed in the future for an as yet indefinite period.
So far, you can only meet one person, but you can ultimately meet friends from different households.
The 1-friend rule could thus become the 1-friend rule
, as
Business Insider
reports.

Corona lockdown in Germany: Merkel wanted even stricter rules
However, it is unclear how this rule could be implemented.
"That's nonsense,"
the report says from the countries.
As research by the magazine has shown, Merkel * wanted to tighten the rule even before the last summit, although initially no meetings with other households were planned.
However, this failed due to the resistance of the federal states.
There is also an FFP2 mask requirement as it applies in Bavaria from Monday *.
The proposal is capable of consensus, provided that enough masks are available, it is said.
